Donald Burris Jr.'s mother, Lena Davenport, survived a head wound, but has a lawsuit pending against Pittsburgh and Homestead police in the January 2013 chase.

Allegheny County prosecutors say Burris ran a red light then smashed into cars about 2 a.m. before officers fired several shots into his car.

Burris and his mother weren't armed and the incident prompted then-Pittsburgh police Chief Nate Harper to issue an order that officers were not to fire on moving vehicles unless the occupants fired first.

Burris, a 33-year-old Carnegie man, was wounded in the arm. A jury Wednesday acquitted him of aggravated assault and more serious charges, convicting him only on charges of fleeing police.
